Today is China's 42nd Teachers' Day.The Ningbo Stationery Fair wishes all teachers around the world:Happy Teachers' Day!A three-foot podium nurtures students; a piece of chalk writes the years.Above the podium, teachers nurture with devotion; below the podium, China's stationery industry is protecting the small world of the classroom with craftsmanship.Every stroke writes the teacher's original aspirationA class often begins with a line on the board. Deriving formulas, marking key points, grading homework... high-frequency writing day after day is a familiar work scene for many teachers.A good pen may seem insignificant, but it can make writing smoother and make long hours of grading at the desk less tiring.Teachers' Day "Never Forget Your Teachers" Red Pen Gift BoxImage source: KACO (Shanghai Wencai) Booth No.: H11-T09Represented by domestic pen manufacturers such as Beifa, Baoke, Snowhite (Changlong), Wentai, First Pencil, Tiantan, Xinfu, Five Thousand Years, Pengsheng, Aoxiang, Wencai, Hongxing, Wangcheng, Xiubisizhuang, Zhengxiang, Huafeng, and Yiren, they continue to focus on campus writing scenarios, constantly optimizing product experience from ink and nibs to grip feel.A Chung Hwa pencil, guarding three generations' memories of the school deskImage source: First Pencil Booth No.: H11-T22A small pen records knowledge and conveys the warmth of education. In every stroke, it connects the podium and the desk, and carries the growth of generation after generation.A touch of color guards children's imaginationEducation is not only words in books, but also the colorful world under children's pens. In art class, brushes and paints are the beginning for children to understand color and express imagination. For teachers, in addition to guiding children to discover and create beauty, safety cannot be ignored.The light of domestic brands dedicated to eco-friendly art materials — Marie's Art MaterialsImage source: ART Marie's Booth No.: H11-T05The century-old domestic brand Marie's Art Materials has long been deeply engaged in the safety field of art education materials. Products such as degradable tubes and semi-dry solid watercolors achieve green production with more natural raw materials and lower VOC.Zhejiang Caihua Technology focuses on color safety and has launched safe, washable color materials, allowing children to paint freely and teachers to conduct art and handicraft classes with greater peace of mind.With the power of polymer innovation, reshaping a new ecosystem of safe colorImage source: Zhejiang Caihua Technology Booth No.: H7-418Chinese stationery integrates care for children into visible and tangible product details. Let art education be safe and worry-free, and let imagination bloom freely.A podium witnesses the renewal of the classroomAs times move forward, classrooms are quietly transforming. From traditional blackboard writing to multimedia interactive teaching, domestic teaching equipment continues to innovate and simplify cumbersome processes. But the unchanging core is to serve education, reduce the burden on teachers, and let the three-foot podium shine with more brilliance.Craftsmanship and innovation in writing boardsImage source: Zhejiang Red Sun Booth No.: H1-207Zhejiang Red Sun, with nearly 30 years of persistence, independently develops and produces patented products such as multifunctional writing boards. They write smoothly and erase cleanly, effectively safeguarding classroom health and turning blackboard writing from "dusty" to "refreshing."Xinlaifu products achieve a green closed loop "from source to application"Image source: Xinlaifu Booth No.: H6-K40Say goodbye to heavy, fixed traditional blackboards. Xinlaifu's flexible magnetic whiteboard, lightweight, thin, and rollable, brings teaching equipment to life. It writes smoothly and can be repeatedly erased, adapting to diverse scenarios in schools and homes — this piece of "China Smart Manufacturing" is becoming a capable assistant in new-semester classrooms.Pen nibs, art materials, and blackboard writing are the arms of teachers' cultivation and bridges for passing on culture. Stationery companies understand the real demands of frontline education and use the power of Made in China to safeguard the fragrance of ink and books.May the autumn wind carry sincere wishes: we wish all educators good health, flourishing students, and far-reaching spring sunshine. We also hope Made in China will continue to embrace craftsmanship, stay true to its original aspiration, walk with education, and jointly compose a glorious chapter of nurturing talent in the times.Today, China's stationery industry has built a complete industrial system covering writing instruments, paper and notebooks, art materials, office supplies, and teaching equipment. One Made-in-China product after another enters thousands of homes and crosses mountains and seas to serve the world.This reverence for education and industry craftsmanship will converge at the 2027 Ningbo Stationery Fair. As a world-leading B2B professional event for stationery and office supplies, it pays tribute to educators worldwide! Writing instruments, eco-friendly art materials, eye-protection notebooks, and modern teaching equipment will all be on display, saluting the benevolent hearts of teachers!March 25–27, 20272027 Ningbo International Stationery Fairwill open at Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center23 years of dedication to the industryAn efficient matchmaking platform for stationery tradePre-registration is now fully open → Free registration before the showFrom 00:00 on March 25, 2027, registration will cost RMB 50 per personScan the QR code to complete pre-registrationThe 2027 Ningbo Stationery Fair will be held on March 25–27, 2027 at Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center, with 2,000+ exhibitors and 66,000 sqm of exhibition area.

With the golden autumn bringing cool weather, another back-to-school season is upon us. For stationery brands, anchoring in campus scenarios, breaking into student circles, and laying out long-term incremental markets make the back-to-school season an unmissable window of opportunity.Basic Learning Tools Hold the "C-Position"Based on students' learning behaviors, back-to-school season consumption forms a complete path: Basic learning tools: pens, notebooks, rulers and compasses, erasers, and other basic configurations for classroom note-taking and homework; Learning management tools: storage, time management, correction, planning, and other categories that improve self-organization efficiency; Learning space optimization: eye protection, desktop, reading, and other categories for building a dedicated learning environment; Interest development and quality expansion: art, handicrafts, science, traditional culture, and other categories that extend from the classroom to quality cultivation.Among these, basic learning tools hold the "C-position." Pens, notebooks, rulers and compasses, erasers, and other basic configurations for classroom note-taking and homework are all standard back-to-school items.Changjiang Paper Industry Booth No.: H1-721Changjiang Paper Industry's new myopia-prevention thread-sewn subject notebooks for the back-to-school season feature kraft paper covers, thread-sewn binding, and patented myopia-prevention inner pages. The multi-subject layout with clear categorization responds to consumers' advanced needs for "good usability, eye protection, and organized classification."Baixue (Changlong) Booth No.: H1-411Baixue (Changlong) deeply focuses on optimizing the writing experience. The C510 thermo-sensitive erasable direct-ink fountain pen uses thermo-sensitive ink and comes with a matching eraser on the pen cap, leaving no marks and not damaging the paper surface. It is ready to write as soon as the cap is removed, with a large-capacity ink reservoir in the barrel and a built-in moisturizing structure in the cap, effectively preventing dry-up and ink breakage after prolonged storage.Chenqi Booth No.: H1-536Chenqi Stationery's GP-K132 drop-resistant practice pen targets the pain points of high-frequency writing scenarios. The 370 stainless steel nib resists deformation from drops, paired with imported quick-drying ink to ensure stable ink output, allowing for smooth continuous writing without trailing. It is also suitable for left-handed users, reducing the annoyance of smudging on paper.Looking at the new products from various brands, it is not difficult to see that standard offerings are not synonymous with staying the same. The past trend of "appearance first" and one-upmanship has receded, and rational consumption and pragmatism have become the mainstream in the market. Basic stationery is no longer content with being merely "usable," but is evolving toward "saving time and effort."IP Collaborations Move Toward Emotional Co-CreationAs an important "trump card" for driving stationery consumption, according to statistics from "IP Research Institute," in the first half of 2026, 11 leading stationery brands completed 54 collaborations, involving IPs such as Coca-Cola, Peppa Pig, Hatsune Miku, SpongeBob SquarePants, Mr. Huang's Cat, Rilakkuma, Butter Bear, Sanrio, the World Cup, and more, with nearly every month bringing new moves.The transition between school stages is a critical moment in young people's growth. They face not only new environments but also new interpersonal relationships, new academic demands, and their own changing selves. At this juncture, the role of stationery brands is no longer that of a "salesperson," but rather a "companion."Image source: M&G StationeryM&G Stationery launched its back-to-school new products with a collaboration with Snoopy, titled "Start School Stress-Free with Snoopy." Snoopy, that perpetually relaxed dog, provides just the right kind of emotional counterbalance, helping to ease consumers' anxiety about the new semester and the "insufficient holiday" feeling.The most talked-about item, the "Flying Ear Pen," features side-click mechanism to extend the refill, with Snoopy's little ears swinging along with the action, giving the product a playful emotional expression—write your back-to-school worries on paper, press the pen body, and the ears pop up, releasing the frustration all at once. In this way, the IP is no longer just a flat pattern, but an interactive, shareable, and social three-dimensional experience.The direction of IP collaboration evolution is now clear: moving beyond simple pattern licensing to find IPs that are deeply loved by young people and highly compatible with the brand's DNA, and then transforming their spiritual essence into more detailed, interactive product experiences. Through this long-term companionship, brands, IPs, and fans grow together, ultimately building a solid and lasting emotional bond.Intelligence and Environmental Protection Become "Everyday"The two major trends of intelligence and environmental protection are no longer just concepts but have become visible consumer options available on store shelves.According to CCTV Finance reports, in Yongjia, Zhejiang, a microscope that can connect to a large screen has become a hit. With its built-in screen, users can observe microscopic samples such as insects and leaves, lowering the operational threshold while serving the purpose of scientific enlightenment. Many parents have reported that the product is convenient to use and reduces the burden of parent-child companionship.Image source: CCTV FinanceA stationery store owner in Jiangsu noted that many parents, when making purchases, proactively ask about replaceable refills, eco-friendly paper, and other products. Stationery items that once relied on sequins, pendants, and fragrances to catch the eye have seen a decline in popularity, while simple, durable eco-friendly stationery has gained more favor. The market demand for recycled-paper notebooks, replaceable refills, and biodegradable material stationery has risen.Manufacturing can become greener, and creativity can become smarter. Sustainability in the stationery industry is not only a social responsibility but also a form of business wisdom.During the back-to-school season, the stationery market is flourishing with diversity. Competition in the stationery industry has shifted from promotional price wars to experience, emotion, and trust. Rather than chasing fleeting traffic fads, it is about getting close to users, staying emotionally in sync, brainstorming together, relieving stress together, and striving for dreams together. Once this trust is established, users' recognition solidifies into a brand's most unshakable asset. To understand industry trends and see more possibilities in the stationery industry, industry peers are welcome to gather offline and explore the path ahead together.March 25–27, 20272027 Ningbo International Stationery FairWill open at Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition CenterWith 23 years of dedication to the industryIt has become an efficient matchmaking platform for stationery tradePre-registration is now fully open → Register for free before the exhibitionA fee of 50 RMB/person will apply for registrations starting from 0:00 on March 25, 2027

A pen connects writing, learning, and office work — and also connects a vast industrial chain.In Ningbo, this chain has extended across multiple links: raw materials, molds, components, manufacturing, design and R&D, packaging, and logistics.As the largest stationery production and export base in China, Ningbo's stationery industry delivered an impressive performance in 2025. Tax data shows that the industry's invoiced sales reached RMB 37.55 billion, up 6.2% year-on-year, demonstrating strong growth momentum.(Image source: State Taxation Administration)The development of Ningbo's stationery industry has been built on decades of accumulation. In 2005, the China National Light Industry Council, the China Culture & Sports Supplies Association, and the China Writing Instrument Association jointly issued a document, officially awarding Ningbo the title of "Capital of Stationery in China" — the first national-level industry capital title the city ever received. Subsequently, the "China Stationery Production Base" and the "China R&D Center for Art Supplies" were also established in Ningbo. Leveraging its port advantages and manufacturing capabilities, Ningbo's stationery industry began to take off.Over the years, a growing number of stationery companies have taken root in Ningbo. Today, the city is home to over 2,500 stationery manufacturers. Industry leaders such as Deli, Guangbo, Beifa,康大 (Kangda), Tianshi, and Xiubisizhuang have driven the development of local stationery manufacturing and foreign trade, with products covering tens of thousands of varieties across all stationery categories, exported to more than 200 countries and regions worldwide. The long-tail clip alone generates RMB 1 billion in annual sales, with global production volume ranking among the top; staplers hold over 60% of the international market share; and pencil sharpeners account for nearly 75% of the domestic market. These figures reflect the industrial depth that the city has cultivated over time.(Image source: Ningbo Release · Jiang Xiaodong)Why Ningbo?Industrial Agglomeration Drives EfficiencyThe strength of Ningbo's stationery industry lies in its complete industrial chain and highly concentrated ecosystem. Over the years, the city has formed five major stationery industry clusters: Ninghai, Beilun, Haishu, Cixi, and Yuyao. With upstream and downstream enterprises highly concentrated, each cluster has a clear functional focus and complementary advantages, together forming a full industrial chain.Proximity translates into efficiency: with upstream and downstream companies based in the same city, communication costs are reduced, technical issues can be resolved promptly, product development cycles are significantly shortened, and enterprises can devote more energy to product quality and innovation.Today, Ningbo is home to a number of influential stationery brands, including Deli, Guangbo, Beifa, Kangda, Tianshi, Zanyang, Youhe, and Sailong, forming a powerful industrial cluster.(Image source: Deli Group)Standardization Paves the Way for "Made in Ningbo" to Go FurtherThe essential path from a "large and comprehensive" industry to a "strong and superior" one is standard-setting.As the "Capital of Stationery in China" and a globally significant stationery manufacturing base, Ningbo has long been committed to leading high-quality industry development through high standards. The city has established a standard-setting mechanism featuring "association coordination, leading enterprises taking the lead, and SMEs implementing," and has cumulatively participated in the formulation of 29 national standards for the stationery sector, of which it led 9. It has also driven the adoption of the first alliance standard of the Asia-Pacific Stationery Association Alliance.From "Functional" to "Aesthetic" to "Enjoyable"(2026 Ningbo Stationery Fair on-site)From the scholar's four treasures of ancient times to today's pencils and erasers, stationery serves not only as tools, but also as companions, emotional carriers, and social connectors. Seizing this trend, Ningbo's stationery companies have found a new direction for breakthrough.More and more local companies are integrating traditional culture, original design, and animation IP into their products, turning stationery into a medium for young people to express their aesthetics and emotions. As Lin Xiaofan, head of Guangbo Cultural & Creative, once noted in an interview: "What young people buy is not just stationery, but also an emotional identification with their beloved IPs."(Image source: Ningbo Huiling Crafts Co., Ltd. | Booth: H2-215)Stationery is becoming part of cultural consumption. And Ningbo is evolving from a traditional "stationery manufacturing capital" into an industrial cluster with greater innovation capacity, brand power, and cultural expression.(Image source: Beifa Group Co., Ltd. | Booth: H11-T01)Meanwhile, technology is entering the traditional stationery industry, transforming stationery from a mere writing tool into intelligent products. For example, Beifa Group has developed an AI translation pen capable of recognizing 142 languages, now sold in multiple overseas markets. Other AI-powered products include the "Little Cat Soft" emotional interaction device, the AI stress-relief translation stand, and the Beifa AI glasses.(2026 Ningbo Stationery Fair on-site)Today, Ningbo's stationery industry continues to move forward. Companies are growing, and new products, brands, and technologies are emerging. The industry needs exchanges, companies need cooperation, and manufacturing needs sustained connection with the global market.The "Capital of Stationery in China" extends an invitation to the world!March 25–27, 20272027 Ningbo International Stationery FairNingbo International Conference and Exhibition Center23 years dedicated to the industry,building an efficient platform for stationery trade.Pre-registration is now open → Register online for free entry before March 25, 2027.

Ningbo, August 12, 2026 – Today, the global automotive parts industry once again turned its eyes to Ningbo, China, as the CAPAFAIR 2026 Ningbo International Auto Parts Expo grandly opened at the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center.The expo grandly opened, with visitors from around the world pouring into the exhibition halls to explore.At the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center, the expo covers an area of 51,650 square meters, filling Halls 1–8 to capacity, with 2,066 participating companies – a record high in the event's history! The exhibition site was packed with crowds, with Chinese and international faces gathering together.High foot traffic, high-precision matchmaking, and high-efficiency business connections – ensuring that every exhibitor and buyer finds their visit truly worthwhile.As an export-oriented trade fair for automotive parts and the aftermarket, CAPAFAIR 2026 leverages Ningbo's strategic advantages as a "port connecting the world," its solid manufacturing base, and its mature foreign trade ecosystem. The expo effectively bridges domestic and international markets through a dual-circulation business model, attracting a large number of automotive parts buyers from across the globe.Despite the impact of Typhoon, which has left high-speed rail and flight services in some regions yet to resume, the expo has maintained its popularity on par with the previous edition. According to statistics, the number of professional visitors on the first day reached 18,289, roughly the same as the opening day of the last edition, with a higher proportion of trade professionals. Among them, 661 overseas buyers attended on Day 1, a significant increase in their share, and international visitors were visible throughout the venue.△The exhibition halls are filled with energy, with a lively buzz of negotiations and conversation, creating a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere.Domestic buyers showed great enthusiasm, with trade professionals from Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong, Shanghai, Shandong, Anhui, and other provinces – including import/export companies, cross-border e-commerce platforms, and aftermarket distributors/wholesalers/dealers – arriving in droves. They actively engaged with exhibitors to explore industry trends and seek cooperation opportunities.Overseas buyers also responded enthusiastically. A total of 661 purchasers from over 100 countries and regions, including India, the UAE, Egypt, Yemen, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Nepal, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Russia, Qatar, the United States, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Turkey, Australia, and more, toured the eight halls to engage in technical and commercial exchanges, further enhancing the expo's international reach.Jackie Anderson and Charles Anderson from Australia shared their thoughts: "The exhibition is enormous, with so many participating companies. That gives us more options to compare on-site and find the right partners. Offline exhibitions offer advantages that online sourcing simply cannot match – we can see the products first-hand, understand the craftsmanship, and communicate face-to-face with suppliers."Meanwhile, Rehman Habib from the UAE told us: "This is my first time attending the Ningbo Auto Parts Expo, and it's a very large-scale event. China's auto parts market is highly mature, which makes it very convenient and beneficial for international buyers like us."The eight fully booked halls bring together 2,066 quality exhibitors from across China, each presenting their flagship technologies and unique expertise with great sincerity. Walking through the eight halls, visitors are met with a palpable sense of innovation; you can't help but marvel at how vibrant and upward-moving the auto parts industry truly is!Prominent industry players – including Han's Laser, Phoenix Filter, eBay, Focus Technology, Xinyuan Chemical, Defu Steering, Digital Grand, Xintongshi, Shengliyang, Mingzhou, Tiancheng Seals, Tongchema, Yinlong, Ruifeng, Huaxin, Ousida, Aojiade, Zhongling, Hengdi, Xingjie, Jinyang, Ruidi, Hongwei, Tianchao, Zhenghong, Boye, Zhengpai Kedi, Ruisai, and many others – have gathered at this event, creating a brilliant constellation of industry leaders.More than 100,000 exhibits span the entire automotive parts value chain, covering components and assemblies, electrical and electronic systems, automotive accessories and tuning, new energy and lightweighting, maintenance and service equipment, and processing technologies and machinery – a comprehensive and impressive showcase.”A representative from a Shandong-based auto parts manufacturer commented: "This is my third time attending the Ningbo International Auto Parts Expo. There are noticeably more buyers than in previous years. This morning alone, we've exchanged contact information with quite a few potential clients, and things are looking good so far."As a major event for the auto parts sector, CAPAFAIR serves as a vital platform for trend exchange and resource sharing. A rich lineup of concurrent activities, focused on exploring strategies for overseas market expansion, drew large audiences and became a core highlight of the expo!The "Efficiently Building a Safe Cross-Border Supply Chain for Auto Parts Companies" forum addressed key topics including supply chain security, overseas compliance, and export certification, helping companies build safe, compliant, and sustainable cross-border supply chains. The "Automotive and Auto Parts Brand Globalization 2.0 – Global Automotive Supply Chain Restructuring and the Internationalization Path of Parts Companies" forum provided a strategic discussion and resource matching platform for parts manufacturers, enabling them to seize opportunities amid global supply chain realignment.Tomorrow (August 13), two more major forums will take place, continuing to unlock new industry trends and opportunities, helping auto parts companies break through development bottlenecks and capture global market dividends at full speed.CAPAFAIR 2026's powerful platform effect brings together the entire auto parts industry chain, helping companies secure supply, reduce costs, strengthen supply chains, and fill critical gaps – injecting strong momentum into the industry's high-quality development. With so much to see, this article can only cover so much – we invite you to explore more in person!The expo has only two days left! Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center (Halls 1–8, full venue) – we look forward to welcoming you!

Today marks the Beginning of Autumn (Liqiu). The summer heat fades, yet the "heat wave" in the stationery industry keeps rising.Back‑to‑school procurement, holiday stocking, corporate purchasing… multiple demand streams are converging. The global stationery market is entering a new phase of vibrant trade activity.How does the “small but beautiful” stationery sector win big markets? These five trends are worth watching.01 Original DesignIn April this year, KACO extended its collaboration with the National Museum of China, drawing inspiration from the “Empress Xiaoduan’s Phoenix Crown” to launch the “Feng Jiujiu” plush gel pen, alongside a stationery set inspired by Sanxingdui patterns. Earlier this year, Hefei Caiyang Stationery developed original products such as panda‑themed glitter notebooks, Shanhaijing mythical creature washi tapes, and twelve‑animal stamp erasers, all of which received wide acclaim.Through “IP co‑branding + Guochao (national‑trend) innovation”, stationery is evolving from a mere “functional tool” into a “cultural carrier”. Brand building has no shortcuts – it often takes generations, even longer, to mature. To build international brands, the stationery industry must embrace the slow path with unwavering resolve. As original designs gradually emerge in the public eye, a splendid “hundred flowers bloom” moment is bound to come.02 Quality ManufacturingIn April this year, Kayou Stationery’s self‑developed KAYOU+ series high‑precision mechanical drawing pencils won multiple product design awards, including the Red Dot Design Award. Anhui Tuqiang Stationery started with a single eraser, developed eco‑friendly material formulas in‑house, and now exports to over 80% of countries and regions worldwide – earning the title “China’s Eraser King”. Ningbo Shenlan Stationery has achieved annual sales of 500 million markers, with its core moat being washable pigment formulas and smart manufacturing production lines.From OEM to own‑brand going global, what these companies share is turning quality from a cost item into a trust asset. Global buyers’ trust in “Made in China” is shifting from “cost‑performance” to “quality‑performance”.03 Emotional ConsumptionAs the traditional stationery market approaches saturation, tapping into emotional value has become the key to breaking new ground. At the 2026 autumn back‑to‑school ordering fairs, stress‑relief and healing stationery took centre stage. M&G launched “Pain Pens” that allow users to freely accessorise with charms; Xiehe Wenchuang’s “Cat Pai Pai” series has ranked first in store sales for three consecutive years, with annual growth of 30%‑50%. Ningbo Yisida Board Games turned Harry Potter, Marvel and other IPs into new stress‑relief favourites, with exports exceeding RMB 48 million in the first four months, up 66.7% year‑on‑year.Every piece of stationery is more than a tool – it is a companion, a healing desk buddy. An eraser you can squeeze when frustrated, a journal you can quietly paste into for half an hour – stress relief, healing, social currency – stationery is becoming an outlet for emotions.04 AI in OfficeThe biggest change in the stationery sector this year is AI moving from the “concept zone” to the office desk. In May, Hanwang Technology launched the “Digital Stationery New Species” – the Hanwang Notepad M6, introducing the concept of “national‑grade AI digital stationery”. This device combines recording, handwriting, and reading in one form, supports real‑time translation in 51 languages, and generates structured meeting minutes with one click after a meeting ends. That same month, iFLYTEK released the Air 3 Smart Office Notebook, equipped with an e‑ink screen and a local AI office engine.Digital stationery is accelerating towards “hardware intelligence, functional integration, and ecosystem openness”. When a pen gains “thinking” ability, where does the path lie for traditional stationery companies? Technology can iterate, but the warmth of handwriting never goes out of style. AI will not replace stationery – it will only redefine it, offering a new stage for those who dare to embrace change.05 Global Sourcing – The World’s Stationery Community Is GatheringThe world looks to China for stationery; China looks to Ningbo!At the 2026 Ningbo International Stationery Fair, 1,134 overseas buyers from 96 countries and regions visited over the three‑day event – including India, Taiwan (China), Hong Kong (China), South Korea, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan, Indonesia, Turkey, Vietnam, the United States, Brazil, France, Mexico, and more. Buyers came from both major developed economies and emerging markets alike.And it’s not just buyers taking action – Ningbo’s “export infrastructure” for stationery is upgrading in tandem.Known as the “Capital of China’s Stationery Industry”, Ningbo is the country’s largest production and export base for stationery. It is home to more than 2,500 stationery companies, including leading players like Deli, Guangbo, Cre8, Beifa, M&G (Meibo), Kangda, and Tianhong, which drive manufacturing development and foreign trade. Beyond production capacity, “export channels” are continuously expanding. In 2025, Ningbo Zhoushan Port handled over 1.4 billion tonnes of cargo, ranking first globally for the 17th consecutive year. Ningbo Customs simultaneously rolled out 12 measures for cross‑border e‑commerce exports, streamlining customs clearance and fostering business growth – clearing the “last mile” for stationery going global.However, competition in global sourcing is essentially a race for time – whoever reaches quality suppliers first and secures capacity earliest gains the upper hand in the market. And offline exhibitions remain the most efficient “centralised matching” scenario. As the old saying goes, “One leaf falls, and you know autumn is here.” For today’s stationery professionals, one fair tells the state of the market.2027 Ningbo International Stationery FairMarch 25‑27, 2027Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition CentreThe annual rendezvous for the global stationery community – everything you are looking for is right here!Ningbo Stationery FairDedicated to the industry for 23 years, providing an efficient trading platform for stationery trade.Pre‑registration is now fully open.Register online for free before the show.From 00:00 on March 25, 2027, on‑site registration will incur a fee of RMB 50 per person.
